Speaking of upcoming NIS games, Battle Princess Arcadia piques my interest. It may not be as lush as a VanillaWare title, but it looks like fun and I like games like this. I liked Odin Sphere (despite the slowdown and balance issues), I liked Dust, I enjoyed Fortune Summoners (indie title localized by carpe Fulgur) more than my colleague did, I'm a Shantae fanboy...

Meanwhile, the original Shantae is hitting the 3DS VC instead of remaining an impossibly obscure/expensive GBC game that no one will ever get to play.

Also, I'm kinda torn on Battle Princess since it no longer looks as Zelda 2-ish as first impressions might've let on. Plus, it looks to be following in every other NIS game ever made in its infinity +1 numbers all over the place. Also, it looks rather Odin's Sphere-ish but without even half the charm (and hopefully without even half the slowdown either).

Day 1 splure for me! Thanks for the tidbit!

The website has changed the "fatty" designation for the fat kid to "otaku" so that's over with. I'm still way interested in this game and I'll definitely buy it soon after I get a Vita. Which I'm guessing will be sometime in 2014.
